Breck played Flag Football this year! It was so awesome. He loves the game as much as his Dad!! Vallen loves the game. He can tell you each and every detail about each and every play in each and every game in ever played in. The guy LOVES football. I have always been impressed that Vallen doesn't push Breck to love football too. Breck has played soccer, baseball, and football. We have let him find his "love." He really enjoys Flag Football. I have to admit, I do too!! It's a no contact sport, which is fine by me!
A proud moment...when Vallen & Breck were at practice they were ordering uniforms. They asked Breck what number he wanted to be, he has always chosen his favorite number of the moment, like 7 when he was 7 or 8 when he was 8. This year he said, "44." 44!!! That was his Dad's number. Is his Dad's number. He wore it throughout Football and even sometimes shaved it to the hair on the back of his head. Breck said he wanted to be just like Dad this year. It was truly touching for Vallen. He never pushed him to do it...he let Breck decide to do it on his own. The pride they both had when his uniform showed up and there was a 44 with the name Blackburn on the back was definitely a memory maker!!
It was a fantastic season!! They lost in the last game before the championship game. The Colts had a great season, Breck had a great season! He was motivated and gave his all...most days :) He did score a couple of touchdowns, which was awesome to watch from the sidelines!! Way to go Breck!!
